As she closes out her star-turn run in the Cardinal Stage’s Company’s musical production, “Fun Home,” Amanda talks of her childhood in the tiny Illinois town of Bridgeport, the discovery of her own sexuality, and her deep passion for opera on this week’s Big Talk. Amanda is re-committing to the stage after a bitter-sweet dalliance with the New York opera world. That sojourn affected her emotionally, professionally, and even physically. She makes sure to remind listeners that perhaps her most important role of all is that of mother.
